Don A. Volpe – For a history of post-unification brigandage in Buccino

Don Antonio Volpe, For a history of post-unification brigandage in Buccino. Years 1860-1862, Salerno, Palladio, 2001.

In the volume Don Antonio Volpe puts together a series of original documents useful for outlining the events related to the Unification of Italy in Buccino, the subsequent Bourbon reaction of Auletta and the most striking cases of banditry documented in Buccino (the events of Nunzio Bardaro and Nicola Ciaglia).
The volume is accompanied by a series of unpublished documents, taken from the funds of the State Archives of Salerno and from some local brochures of the time, and republishes some images taken from the only previous contribution on the same themes due to Buccinese scholar Giuseppe Arduino (The post-unification brigandage in the provinces of Principato Citra and Ultra (Buccino S. Gregory the Great), in "La Torricella", 3-4, December 1989).

 

The volume can be downloaded in and available in our collection in the Internet Archive
